Let’s survive this 1000-alarm fire together. Also, not to be morbid, but if you’re going to protest—get a will, health care proxy & power of attorney. If you’re unable to act, you’ll want to appoint someone you trust to act for you. (Free legal advice.)

Hi friends!! For those that haven’t heard of the 3.5% rule, read the article below. Erica Chenoweth has studied fascist regimes and we need 3.5% of the US actively engaged to topple it. How that happens for us, I don’t know. But yesterday was a great start! ✊🏻💙 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Let’s hope there’s an adult somewhere in this maelstrom who he’ll listen to. Though it seems more like a question of when, not if. Trump and Netanyahu will do literally anything to remain in office.

The timing of this escalation seems ominous. Just in time for Herr Trump’s birthday.

Trump pulled US out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.

And this regime claims to care about the military. They don’t even care enough to provide basic necessities when they send the military to do the their bidding.

We are absolutely obligated to resist this regime. The goal is to have the largest possible protests with the least possible violence. Studies show peaceful protest is the best & quickest way to regain a democracy. The regime will instigate. We resist.

I’ve been to several now but I’m no pro. The sit down, get quiet & film law enforcement is a good strategy based on my experience. Important note, cell service gets jammed. I make a plan with my group for meeting if we get separated. Lots more advice here www.wired.com/story/how-to... Let’s go!! 💪

BlueSky is better than fb, twitter, and certainly X ever was.

That’s always possible at every protest. All we can do is have a plan. It’s likely some law enforcement/self-appointed militia/agitators will create violent conditions. DJT wants an excuse to declare Marshall Law & suspend habeas corpus beyond undocumented people. We can’t afford to take the bait.

Thanks for this jam-packed, brief & excellent interview. The tech bros are clearly hard at work trying to realize their fever dream of tearing down democracy & making us all their subjects. (God I wish this were a movie plot & not our actual reality.)
